Interviews with all the households in the Agropastoral Zone (ZAP) of Yale, southern Burkina Faso, were conducted in 1994 and again in 1997 to assess the impacts of a tsetse control programme implemented from 1994, using insecticide-impregnated targets and pour-on treatments of all cattle with del...

Farmers' perceptions of the impacts of tsetse and trypanosomosis control on livestock production: Evidence from southern Burkina Faso
African animal trypanosomosis is a parasitic disease that afflicts livestock across much of sub-Saharan Africa. The disease, primarily transmitted by the tsetse fly (Glossina spp.), causes morbidity and mortality in several species of livestock. It is particularly important in southern Burkina Fa...

Impacts of tsetse control on migration, livestock production, cropping practices and farmer-herder conflicts in the Mouhoun valley of southern Burkina Faso
In this case study of the Yale agro-pastoral zone in southern Burkina Faso, the sustainability of tsetse control as a local public good was shown to depend upon farmers' contributions to establish and maintain the traps and targets that attract and kill tsetse flies. Contingent valuation (CV) tec...

This study is conducted with a general objective of evaluating contingent valuation as a method for assessing the willingness of people at a site in the Ghibe Valley of Ethiopia to contribute labour, time and money to tsetse control. The more specific objectives of the case study were to evalua...

Using contingent valuation to assess the prospects for local participation in public good provision: The case of trypanosomiasis control in Ethiopia
The subhumid and semi-arid zones of West Africa are one of the subregions reputed to hold Africa's greatest potential for expansion of animal agriculture. Within this region livestock are affected by tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosis-a disease that severely constrains productivity, thus hampering...

The use of baited traps and targets to control the tsetse fly has the potential for successful and sustainable trypanosomiasis control by local communities. However, with community-based programmes, community organisational capacity, incentives needed to initiate and sustain programmes, and intra...

A tsetse control campaign using an insecticidal cypermethrin "pour-on" applied monthly to village Zebu cattle in Ghibe in southwest Ethiopia has been in operation for over six years. For four of these years farmers have paid a cost-recovery price for each animal given treatment. Relative densitie...

A tsetse control experiment with 500 deltamethrin-impregnated targets was initiated in the Ghibe Valley, south-west Ethiopia, in April 1990. The theft of a large number of targets following the socio-political disturbances of May 1991 spoiled major reductions in tsetse density and trypanosome pre...
